The New River Bridge

Bridge Day 
I took this shot with the self timer on my camera.
It's 876 feet down to the right of my foot.

Another self timer shot.  The bridge ended right at the

My first jump off the new bridge.
Man...it was lonely there that day.

Notice the old Wonderhog container which was

the most popular container during this time.

Nov 1980

This is part of a layout that I shot Dec 14, 1976 as a
newspaper photographer for the states largest paper.

The bridge deck was to be installed next.

This was an article using my photos.  Notice in the top left picture, there is a net under

me. That was over the road area of the bridge. But once you got out over the river, there

was no net, at least not on the outside of the bridge.
